PRODUCT TECHNOLOGIES:
HAGANE GEAR
The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano's coldforging technology. without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.
ARC SPOOL
Shimano ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. ARC spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid.
C14 PLUS
C14+ is an advanced version of the original C14. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than C14 and is used on many high end Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use of C14+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.
ONE PIECE BAIL
The one-piece bail wire has no gap for line to snag on during normal operation. Made of Stainless Steel, it reduces friction and allows the line to get onto the line roller quicker.
S ARB
Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.
